Which version of CFEngine are you using ? I remember we had some issues
on 3.1.4 with complex classes expression, that were not correctly
evaluated, so it could explain why you believe that you can OR more than
twice

You could also use class conditions to define classes :
classes:
!agent041.!agent042::
"agents" expression => regcmp( "ag.*" , "${sys.host}");
Or even a bit more complex with classes and ifvarclass:
classes:
!agent041.!agent042::
"agents"
expression => regcmp( "ag.*" , "${sys.host}"),
ifvarclass => "some_class_expression";
Best regards !
